Barton Hollow

I'm a dead man walking here
But that's the least of all my fears
Ooh, underneath the water.

It's not Alabama clay
That gives my trembling hands away
Please forgive me father.

Ain't going back to Barton Hollow
Devil gonna follow me e'er I go
Won't do me no good washing in the river
Can't no preacher man save my soul.

Did that full moon force my hand?
Or that un marked hundred grand?
Ooh, underneath the water
Please forgive me father.

Miles and miles in my bare feet
Still can't lay me down to sleep
If I die before I wake
I know the Lord my soul won't take.

I'm a dead man walking
I'm a dead man walking.

Keep walking and running and running for miles
Keep walking and running and running for miles
Keep walking and running and running for miles.

Ain't going back to Barton Hollow
Devil gonna follow me e'er I go
Won't do me no good washing in the river
Can't no preacher man save my soul.
